LAUNCHED AN UNDERWATER SEARCH FOR MISSING PASSENGERS. FINDING MIDDLE GROUND FROM HIGH ABOVE. OR MAYBE A PEACEFUL SOLUTION AT THE BAY BRIDGE. WE TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT YESTERDAY. ROB ROBLIN TAKES US ON A JOURNEY ABOUT HOW THE STATE OF MARYLAND HAS BROKERED A TRUCE. WE ALL KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO LIVE IN A CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO THEM. THAT HERE THE BAINBRIDGE, IT IS THE SAME WAY. IT ALL STARTED THIS WEEK WHEN THIS OSPREY DECIDED TO BUILD HER NEST IN FRONT OF THE MARYLAND TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY CAMERAS ON THE BAY BRIDGE. WE NOTICE THE BIRD HOVERING AROUND THE CAMERA. FRIDAY MORNING IS WHEN WE CONSULTED WITH U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE. WE WENT UP THERE AND REMOVE THE NEST. THERE WERE NO EGGS IN THEIR. DETERMINED TO STAY IN A NEIGHBORHOOD, SHE BUILT HER NEST IN FRONT OF ANOTHER CAMERA. WE DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. AT THAT POINT, WE DECIDED THAT IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN JUST REMOVING THE NEST. WE WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH A BETTER IDEA TO DISCOURAGE HER FROM SITTING IN FRONT OF OUR TRAFFIC CAMERA. REALIZING THIS WAS A DETERMINED OSPREY, THEY DECIDED TO THE PLATFORM AWAY FROM THE CAMERA, BUT ON THE SAME STRUCTURE, HOPING THE BIRD MICHAEL FORD THE DEAL. CORRECTLY INSTALLED THIS MORNING. WE PUT SOME OF THE STICKS AS SHE PUT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. WE PUT THEM ON THE PLATFORM. SHE HAS GONE BACK A FEW TIMES TO THE PLATFORM. SHE IS ALREADY BRINGING MORE STICKS TO THE PLATFORM. WE THINK SHE SEEMS TO LIKE HER NEW HOME. FOR NOW, IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING. THE HOPE IS THAT THE OSPREY WILL MISS HER NEST, LISA MAKES, AND CALL THE PLATFORM HOME, AWAY FROM THE TRAFFIC CAMERA. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE SEEN A BIRD OLD A NEST FOR HER IN FRONT OF A TRAFFIC CAMERA.
